There?s a place of quiet stillness ?tween the light and shadows reach Where the hurting and the hopeless seek everlasting peace Words of men and songs of angels whisper comfort bittersweet Mending grief and life eternal where joy and sorrow meet There is a place where hope remains In crowns of thorns and crimson stains And tears that fall on Jesus? feet Where joy and sorrow meet There?s a place the lost surrender and the weary will retreat Full of grace and mercy tender in times of unbelief For wounded there is healing, strength is given to the weak Broken hearts find love redeeming where joy and sorrow meet There?s a place of thirst and hunger where the roots of faith grow deep And there is rain and rolling thunder when the road is rough and steep There is hope in desperation there is victory in defeat At the cross of restoration where joy and sorrow meet
